The league decided to fine James Harden $100,000 for his words and actions. Now, even though the NBPA chose to support Harden, fans are losing it over the NBA?s latest gesture for The Beard on his birthday.

Harden immediately got the support of the NBPA which claimed that he did not violate any rules. Now, the whole scenario is far from over but that did not stop the official Instagram page of the NBA from wishing Harden on his birthday.
